Meal Planning Made Easy

Life can get busy. Between hectic schedules and other commitments, it’s easy to be always on the go. Here are three ways to save time and take back your week.

Start on Sunday

Take an hour of your Sunday to plan for the rest of the week — it can make all the difference! Set aside some time, even if it’s just 30 minutes, to schedule your week and prepare for what’s coming your way.

Stagger Chores

Instead of spending a whole afternoon cleaning, assign a day of the week to each room of the house. Set a timer and spend just 15-20 minutes working on a specific room. When the timer goes off, stop for the day! By giving yourself a timeframe, you’ll be more focused and less likely to stop or get distracted.

Skip Meal Planning

Between selecting the right meals and shopping for ingredients, meal planning can take hours. Grab a Blue Apron meal subscription and save time feeding your family throughout the week. Choose between the 2-Person Plan or the 4-Person Family Plan and get your meals and ingredients delivered to your door. Each week, you can select which recipes you’d like to try. You’ll never run out of dinner idea again! Right now, Blue Apron is offering $30 off your first box. Check out this week’s recipes or sign up at BlueApron.com.

Well, let me start off my saying, NO. We are human and having patience is learned, not taught, in my opinion. Patience is something my husband, parents, sister and my friends pray for, for me that is. I, on the otherhand, am not a fan of praying for patience because I know if I pray for it, God will test me to see why I am not being a patience Mommy and good example to my girls.

Once I earnstly pray and seek patience from the Lord, I know I will have to act on it. Is this a good thing in the whole scheme of things? Do you ever wish you had a bucket full of patience to give out to your children, toddlers or not, or even your adult family members?

I remember once I prayed for patience and all I got was more frustrated. In fact, I recall my level of anger rising. How is this possible? I really want to have patience, in fact I think it is a good thing to possess patience. Being short all the time just causes stress and a boat load of anxiety and the Lord does not want us being anxious for anything.

God is in control and "God is still on the Throne and Prayer Changes things"-from Dr. Noah Hutchings radio show.

You see, I know this, and yet, it is difficult for me to act upon the knowledge I know is in my mind and heart.

Who knew being a parent of two, precious and fun loving, two year and three month old twins could be so life altering? God did. He answered this prayer for me more likely than not before I was even born. He knew I would be the only one in my family able to take care of my girls, strong willed or not. He also knew that because I profess Him as my Lord and Savior, I would have to rely on Him and Him alone.

The only question I have for myself now, is, why am I not doing what should come so naturally to me, praying. Praying to my Lord and Savior for guidance, peace and patience above all. It is not as if I do not want or seek all these things, it is because I am human first and my flesh always seems to get in the way of my relationship with my first love.

I know, if I want a better relationship with my darling twins, I first need a strong relationship, once again, with my Savior.

So, there you have it, this is what I need to do in order to have patience, Pray. Pray all the time and pray with thanksgiving to my Lord who died on the cross for my daily sins and ungrateful heart.

Patience, it is much needed in today's world.Patience, it can only come from the One who created me.Without patience and a kind spirit, I will be in despair and this is not something I want or need.
